This was going to be a column dissecting the Boston Red Sox effort on Opening Day. How did starting pitcher Nate Eovaldi do? Did Bobby Dalbec strike out three times or did he hit one into the sun?
Instead, around 9 a.m. Thursday morning, the Red Sox leadership peeked at the sky and pulled the chute. Opening Day was postponed. In a year in which families across the world have delayed holidays and celebrations, here’s one more. Even though this was weather-related, not pandemic-related, it’s still a disappointment. Now, we wait until Friday to see how the Red Sox fare against the Baltimore Orioles.
